Wedding Cheque Book Invitations

Wedding Cheque Book Invitations

So many of my customers purchase wedding
cheque book style invitations from my website www.razzledazzlerose.co.uk, and
have no idea how to print on them. Here we show you how to create these simple,
but stunning cheque books style invitations for your wedding.

The cheque book kits come with:

275gm Blank Brown kraft card front and back cover

3 x 100gsm Blank kraft paper insert sheets

Matching Brown Kraft 120gsm DL Envelopes

The covers and inserts are pre drilled, and creased to the left hand side.

The kits are available in packs of 25 cheque books.

Each cheque book
‘sheet’ comes pre-drilled, and creased,
with a front and back cover and three insert sheets that can all be easily
printed from your home printer.

Firstly, using Microsoft word, you need to
choose the paper size to print directly onto the sheets. Choose page layout,
size, from the drop down menu choose DL long edge, this will change your page
size to the correct size required to print onto your cover and inserts
correctly.

From the tabs at the top of
the screen, choose home, then insert tab, then add text box, choose text
direction tab, then rotate the text by 90 degrees so the text direction is in
line with the DL size you want to print on.

You can add your designs, or artwork, and
add your chosen wording. Remember to leave at least a 20mm gap at the left hand
side when typing for the creasing and the drill holes.

Repeat
this process for your insert sheets adding the details of your wedding date,
time and location, the remaining sheet can be a rsvp to your guests etc.

You need to then alter your printer tray to fit the card and insert
sheets like this:

There is usually a DL indicated or Envelope
indicator printed on the paper tray. Move the tabs at the side so the card
cover fits. Print on the reverse side of the card with the two holes nearest to
you. Repeat the process for the insert
sheets.

Once the card cover and the inserts have
been printed you need to then attach them together. With your ribbon, cut both
ends of the ribbon to angles – this make threading the ribbon through the holes
a little easier. Start from the back,
you should have a plain back cover, three insert sheets and a front cover.

Once both ribbons are pulled through to the
front, tie into a bow to complete your wedding cheque book invitations.

And there you have it, your beautiful cheque book wedding invitations.
